Sal is now home. He is on the pink stuff - TMS for 10 days every 12 hours. He has about 12 staples on this tum that will be removed in 2 weeks. I don't like the staples - they look so uncomfortable. I'm worried that they are going to pop off.

Those staples have never bothered my guys and they are so easy to take out with the special staple remover. Dr. Murray does a nice job, eh? If I hadn't found Dr. Murray, I probably wouldn't have gone so gung-ho on the guinea pig herd here. Before him, it was so sketchy going to the vets... and they always ended up trying to get him on the phone anyway for a consultation. I went through hell will Zoe, for years... worrying about if I was getting her issues properly diagnosed and then treated efficiently.

My compliments to Sal on his impressive poops. My girls make plump ones... but not so long! Hope the lab results come soon and give you good news!

Got the results from Murray and he said it was a mammary Endocarcinoma (??) malignant tumor. He said the pathologist said the margins are clean which I'm guessing mean that there are no signs that is had spread.

He said that we're going to want to keep an eye on that area very closely. He is consulting with the pathologist and they're going to discuss if neutering would be beneficial.

He also said that 30% of mammary tumors aren't benign and Sal happened to be in that 30%.
